High beam on

What it means

This indicator shows that the main-beam headlights are switched on. Blue is informational; its colour and display may vary by manufacturer, so check the owner's manual if uncertain.

What the symbol looks like: A blue headlamp symbol with straight beams pointing forward.

Why it comes on

• The driver switched on the high beams.
• The automatic high-beam function activated them.
• The high-beam flash function is being held or was just used.

What to do

1. Check that the road ahead is clear and that high beams are appropriate.
2. Dip the headlights for oncoming traffic and when following another vehicle.
3. Turn off high beams in well-lit areas or when they could dazzle others.
4. If the indicator stays on when high beams are off, check the owner's manual or arrange a lighting-system inspection.

Can I keep driving?

You can drive with high beams when conditions and local rules permit. Avoid dazzling other road users; use dipped beams when required.
